The fan or fan and shutters do not work

It is within the warranty period

If the product as been installed in accordance to the fitting/wiring instructions and there is a supply at the fan but it does not work, then return to place of purchase for a replacement.

It is outside the warranty period

Check there is a stable supply to the fan and that the impeller is able to spin freely and there is no blockage within the fan and any duct run or termination.

Check nothing is obstructing the shutters mechanism

How do I clean my fan

The product instructions will normally give guidance on fan maintenance so please check those in addition to the following information.

Otherwise after ensuring that the fan is safely isolated from the mains supply, periodically check the fan is free of any dust/dirt/grease build up using a damp cloth with warm water and a mild detergent.

I have a query/problem with the run-on timer

The timer does not run-on at all

Ensure the fan has been wired in accordance with the fitting/wiring instructions. Timer fans require a permanent live and neutral and a switch live to operate correctly.

The timer does not time out and so the fan runs on continuously

My fan is controlled from the light switch

My lighting is low voltage or low energy and has its own transformer

Ensure there is both a permanent live and switch live on the fan or transformer controller (where applicable) and that they have been connected to correct way round. See product fitting/wiring for full relevant wiring details.

Some types of low voltage and low energy lighting (mainly older types) can create a high voltage surge at the point the light is switched and this can interfer with and in some cases damage timers in fans. If your timer fan has failed due to lighting type you will likely need to replace it. If placing on the same lighting circuit, your electricial should protect the fan with a supression device such as a Varistor of type relevant to the lighting type.

Can I adjust the run-on timer

Run-on timers can usually be adjusted between approximately 3 - 30 mins (this range varies depending on the fan). See product fitting/wiring for guidance.
